  PR goes to the dogs News | (0)

  So in moving from Microsoft to tech startup buuteeq there was a press release and some coverage in various trade journals and websites. I knew one of the Microsoft-focused journalists might pick up on it related to the fate of Silverlight which would be understandable with the Build conference happening. What I didn't expect was this:

  Leaving Microsoft News | (0)

  Today, six years to the day that I started at Microsoft, I'm leaving. I wanted to take a moment to thank all of my friends from my time at Microsoft for the things that they've taught me and the assistance that they granted. I sent an internal email already but many key people are no longer at Microsoft so I'm putting this out there for those of you that left ahead of me. In fact, those who know me and know the strategic shifts Microsoft announced earlier this year shouldn't be surprised to see me leave now. But it was ...

  Jonas Brothers Vs. Hanson News | (0)

  So why in the world am I mentioning an article about Hanson and the Jonas Brothers? Because my old band, Admiral Twin, is mentioned in there. Now I can finally say we were written about in Rolling Stone. :) Jonas Brothers Vs. Hanson: How the Bands of Brothers Match Up : Rolling Stone : Rock and Roll Daily

  Silverlight helps jobhunters News | (0)

  Found this article that says half of IT jobseekers still find work quickly. Favorite quote: The survey found that the most in-demand skills are in software development and testing--in particular, those with experience of agile programming, Scrum methodology, and Microsoft'?s .Net, Silverlight and SharePoint tools. Business analysis and project management expertise are also proving popular. Half of IT jobseekers still finding work quickly - vnunet.com

  Silverlight builds robots?!? News | (0)

  No, the robot in the new Silverlight 3 poster represents your next great idea that you can "bring to life" in Silverlight. There's a lot packed into this poster—you’ll want to get a closer look. Some lucky folks got these at MIX. For the rest of you, we'll be releasing some new desktop wallpapers based on these on the new team blog soon.

  Sony makes it hard so you stay busy News | (0)

  Sony's CEO has given us a new candidate for the worst.quote.ever. from a usability point of view: "We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that (developers) want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so then the question is, what do you do for the rest of the nine-and-a-half years?" --Kaz Hirai, CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment So let me get this straight--the plan is to make a platform that is intentionally difficult for ...

  Silverlight in the News News | (0)

  I had a few interviews recently which have started to show up in print/online. I point them out because I think this blog is mostly read by my mom and my sister. Actually, they probably don't read this either but when my memory finally goes completely, I can meander over here and read about how I had an interesting time in the software industry. So back to the interviews: the best surprise was a story in USA Today that had started out as a piece prompted by Adobe about Flash video but ended up titled "Microsoft's Silverlight heats up fight ...

  WindowsClient.net News | (0)

  A white paper that I co-wrote just went live on WindowsClient.NET and is the first featured news item (for today). The paper is targeted at developers with WinForms chops who are thinking about making the jump to WPF but want to know when the right time and conditions are. I won't give away the ending--check it out at the link.  WindowsClient.net

  Halo 3 on MSN News | (0)

  And while you're checking out Silverlight, be sure to check out the Halo3 movies on MSN. The site is powered by Silverlight so enjoy the HD videos. And speaking from experience, the game is the best of the trilogy...  Halo 3 on MSN
